Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
(1) a significant number or proportion of the
workers in such workers' firm have become totally or
partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated;
(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of
articles or supply of services like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by the
workers' firm; OR
(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND
(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 7, 2013 by a State Workforce Official on
behalf of workers of Technicolor, Home Entertainment Services,
including on-site leased workers from Work Force Network,
Staffline, Caliper Inc., Employment Partners Inc., Select
Staffing and Staff Works Group, Livonia, Michigan and
Technicolor, Home Entertainment Services, including on-site
leased workers from Work Force Network, Staffline, Caliper Inc.,
Employment Partners Inc., Select Staffing and Staff Works Group,
Romulus, Michigan (Technicolor, Home Entertainment Services).
The workers' firm is engaged in activities related to the
production of packaging and distribution of media products.
Workers of Technicolor, Home Entertainment Services,
Livonia, Michigan were covered under a previous certification
(TA-W-70,613) for Trade Adjustment Assistance that expired on
October 22, 2011.
During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm.
Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant
number or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have
become totally or partially separated, or are threatened to
become totally or partially separated.
Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers'
firm has shifted to a foreign country the production of articles
like or directly competitive with the articles produced by the
workers, which contributed importantly to worker group
separations at Technicolor, Home Entertainment Services.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Technicolor, Home
Entertainment Services, Livonia, Michigan and Technicolor, Home
Entertainment Services, Romulus, Michigan, who are engaged in
activities related to the production of packaging and
distribution of media products, meet the worker group
certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19
U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:




"All workers of Technicolor, Home Entertainment Services,
including on-site leased workers from Work Force Network,
Staffline, Caliper Inc., Employment Partners Inc., Select
Staffing and Staff Works Group, Livonia, Michigan and
Technicolor, Home Entertainment Services, including on-site
leased workers from Work Force Network, Staffline, Caliper
Inc., Employment Partners Inc., Select Staffing and Staff
Works Group, Romulus, Michigan, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after February 6,
2012 through two years from the date of certification, and
all workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the date of certification
through two years from the date of certification, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2
of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 15th day of May, 2013.
